Beyond styles, transcending generational boundaries, its programming presents great international figures, reveals emerging talents and proposes unprecedented encounters.

So many invitations to be thrilled by the tripping rhythms of swing, groove, and to share the euphoria of improvisation!

Dive into the fascinating universe of Cole Porter, a mythical figure of American musical comedy, through the singular gaze of Linda, his wife, his muse and his longtime accomplice.

Against the conventions of the time, they invent a free and profoundly singular relationship, woven with passion, loyalty and secrets. For thirty-five years, their story draws the vibrant portrait of a witty woman, daring and resolutely modern.

Carried by Cole Porter's songs, this show sketches in chiaroscuro the impulses and vulnerabilities of an unusual love. On stage, Isabelle Georges embodies the role of a moving woman, accompanied by a trio with subtly jazz accents.

Her voice, both delicate and inhabited, takes us to the heart of the repertoire of the "prince of songwriters", whose melodies have crossed the ages and marked the greatest voices, from Marilyn Monroe to Fred Astaire and Frank Sinatra.
